The Spanish Ambassador and the Marquesa de Santa Cruz gave a dinner party at the Embassy last night to commemorate the discovery of America.— The Times Social Announcement.

His Excellency of Santa Cruz Invites his guests to pick and choose. It's not for him to make a rumpus About the claims of old Columbus, Nor cast aspersions on the bravery Of mariners of Scandiknavery. He is aware some statisticians Ascribe it all to the Phoenicians. Whoever you adjudge the winner, He hopes you'll have a pleasant dinner.
